Introduction:
This unit is five channel DMX intelligent scanner that
may be easily converted to an intelligent color changer by removing
the mirror unit. This unit can also run as a stand alone, sound-active
unit, or in a Master/Slave configuration as either a scanner or color
changer. The ScanTron
comes with several build in programs and is
best used in multiples of four. When used as a stand alone unit or when
used in multiples linked in a master/slave configuration the optional
IRC/1 controller may be used. The optional controller will access dif-
ferent programs and control a blackout function. For best results use
fog or special effects smoke to enhance the beams projections.
